Amazing Carpet Cleaner

When we bought our house it had no carpet. None. Not even fancy flooring. Again, none. It was cold, grey, ugly concrete. The house needed some finishing work, and flooring was one of them. Throughout the 7 years of being here, we've finally gotten carpet in the bedrooms (A must prior to having E) but the living room and kitchen are still that cold, grey, ugly concrete. Eventually we plan on putting down wood floors. Eventually. You know, when we win that lotto.
To make the living room less cold, we did invest in a giant rug. It's helped, and throughout the years it's taken some hits of random stains. In lieu of redecorating and getting a new chair, I sought out to find a carpet cleaner-that worked. Alas, I found something and it was all with ingredients I had at home!

The spot

First, sprinkle Baking Soda down on the stain. Even if it's been there for years. The Baking Soda helps draw out odors, so I sprinkled it down all over the rug. Leave it be for 10 mins or so.

While the Baking Soda is working, mix 2 cups of warm water with 1 tablespoon white distilled vinegar and 1 tablespoon of dawn dish soap. Stir it together well so all the ingredients get to know each other.

After 10 mins, vaccum up the soda. Then with a white rag, attack the stain with your mix. You might have to rub and use some elbow greese depending on how bad the stain is.

Spot is GONE!

Blot dry with the rag, and then vacuum again. Viola! Stain is gone, and a much cheaper option than spending tons of money on carpet cleaners. Now, I did read that if this doesn't work then you will probably need to have one of those heavy duty carpet cleaners come in.
